Well, we should be getting our tax return in the next week or so now and my wife wants a tablet. The thing is, I know diddly squat about them. All she wants is a dependable tablet that will play Facebook games nicely without any issues. No long wait times on loading then either. The rest of the stuff that she does is check her email, weather and local news.

Correct. The easiest way to do this would be to get a Nexus 7, find a flash.apk(all over the internet and we can provide you with one) and download firefox. Firefox on Android OS 4.2 (known as Jellybean) will support flash, as long as you manually install it. Officially flash is killed off and no updates will be received.

On my Nexus 4, I tried this and it worked. Do I ever use flash? No, but I made a bet to my friends I would never need flash on a mobile device and guess what, still dont.

Well, since I know nada about these things, I would probably bork the S.O.B. up. So, I will see what else can be done. Also, we checked the playstore and only found 2 out of the 4 games she plays. One of which not found was the game she plays most.

This is basically what I told her. But she's adamant about 300 or less. So best bet might be a used lappy.

If she insists on touch, you can buy a used older model tablet PC. They're not extremely light, but they have 2 finger touch support in addition to stylus support. I see a few HP 2730p laptops with SSDs for $250 on eBay, such as this one. 128GB SSD and two batteries. Throw Windows 8 on there and it'll be pretty nice. Just make sure it has touch support first, the 2730p is configurable with pen-only input I believe.EDIT: According to the description it does not support touch. I'm nearly positive there are configurations of the 2730p with touch support, even though this item says there aren't.Here's one for $200 that shows it supports single touch input but has a slow and small 80GB 1.8" HDD.
